Striking Up A Friendship, starring Christian, is the story of how the love of a game turned into a decade long mentorship and winning friendship.

When avid bowler, Christian, first met pro shop owner Mike Schmid 13 years ago, he didn't know Mike would become a fundamental part of his life. Christian's multiple bowling leagues and various equipment purchases would take him to Mike's Pro Shop in Flaherty's Arden Bowl, numerous times a week. It was there at the pro shop, that Mike and Christian bonded over bowling balls, best practices, and the latest in ball drilling techniques while earning each other’s trust and respect.

Thank you to Mike Schmid, a professional bowler, great guy and Mike’s Pro Shop owner for 59 years!
